Lin Zexu's Fortune _ Lin Zexu's Divination

Ten useless works by Lin Zexu

There are many sages who left their names in history all over the country, which also represents the humanistic atmosphere of that place, so I am used to going to a place to see which sages there are. When I arrived in Fuzhou, I visited Lin Zexu Memorial Hall. In the morning, we also mentioned that Lin Zexu made a large-scale tobacco sales campaign by physical means to destroy all these opium. Therefore, as long as he has the heart, his science has made rapid progress. In addition, Lin Zexu is also quite good at water conservancy. Later exiled to the frontier, not decadent, but can? Will you do it when you are in trouble? , or try our best to take care of the local people, engaged in water conservancy construction. Therefore, Lin Zexu's water conservancy construction still affects the frontier people and plays a good role.

Lin Zexu was on the southeast coast when he led the troops, and the troops led well. When the British and French allied forces reached the southeast coast, they dared not fight directly with them, but went around to the northern ports to fight. So they are also afraid of Lin Zexu. However, due to the corruption of the imperial court at that time, when the British and French allied forces approached Beijing, Lin Zexu was replaced and later exiled to the frontier. So to be honest, no matter how strong other countries are, as long as there is no chaos in their own countries, others can't bully them. It was precisely because of the serious corruption in the imperial court at that time that the people were in dire straits.

Lin Zexu wrote in Life Experience? Ten is useless? Tell us that as long as we don't start from the root cause, life will be very busy and empty, so these ten things are worth thinking about. ? Ten is useless? : Parents are unfilial and it is useless to serve God; It's no use making friends if brothers are not in harmony; Bad intentions, feng shui is useless; It is useless to study badly; It is useless to be arrogant and knowledgeable; It is useless to be fooled by cleverness; Luck is unreasonable and welcome; It is useless to take medicine at the expense of vitality; It's no use taking other people's money for nothing; Lust, lust is useless. From here? Ten is useless? We also feel that Lin Zexu also emphasized that life should focus on substance, not on form and empty appearance.

First one? Parents are unfilial, and it's no use serving God? . Even parents are unfilial and worship God every day. Even we have a lot of money to build temples and temples. Is it useless? It's useless. The most important thing is to do things according to the teachings of sages and these philosophers in order to really benefit. And all the sages in the world, all the teachings, are absolutely based on filial piety at the beginning. So Confucianism says? Filial piety is the foundation of virtue? ; Buddha said? Three Buddhas, what is pure karma? , but also from the first blessing? Filial piety to foster parents? Start; Is it also mentioned in Tao teaching "The Emperor's Father's Induction"? Loyalty, filial piety, friendship and self-improvement? . Therefore, the root of inevitable virtue is filial piety, and virtue is the basis of all blessings, and all blessings must be established from virtue.

The second one? It's no use brothers not making friends? . At home, brothers and sisters do not know how to love and support each other. Is it possible to get along well with friends immediately after leaving society? Everything is the same, this behavior is the same at home, and so is his intention. He will never say that if he leaves this house, he will become another person. That may be because he is possessed. Generally speaking, we can look at a person's heart from his behavior, and the most real behavior is his performance in the family. As we said before, when Japan selects talents and wants to reuse some important supervisors, they have a magic weapon, which is to see whether he is filial to his parents, and then whether he takes care of his wife and children and whether he has friendly brothers. So what? It's no use brothers not making friends? .

The third one? Bad intentions, feng shui useless? . So-called? I create my life, and I demand my own happiness? Fukuda, on the other hand, was cultivated by heart. When we are kind, we are already accumulating our own blessings and merits, so we should not seek outside. Is this the case now? The worse the economy, the more prosperous fortune-telling is. Even now, changing the name is very popular. Once the name is changed, it is not changed by one person, but by the whole family. So people nowadays don't understand the truth, which is very sad. Spending a lot of money has no effect. And what kind of example did he set for the next generation when he spent money like this? Superstition. Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor said? Everything is blessed, never leaving? Never leave our hearts. Look from the heart and feel everything? . Therefore, we should manage our own life fundamentally, don't be superstitious and don't pursue these untrue things.

In fact, external substances do affect people's psychological state. For example, we are in a messy room. Are you in a good mood? Of course it will be affected. But when our hearts are clean and respectful, what will happen when we encounter such a chaotic environment? I will definitely start sorting out, and Feng Shui will certainly change with people's hearts. So in Chinese, Defoe lives in benevolence? Because when Fu lived in the blessed land, his heart was different from ordinary people. He knows how to cherish blessings and things and hopes that his life will be clean and tidy. Of course, the whole environment changed as soon as he moved in. Therefore, feng shui is also dynamic, and fate is also dynamic. It depends on how we work hard and how we transform it.

The fourth one? It's no use studying because of bad conduct? . What happens if children recite four books when their words and behaviors are incorrect? Does it correspond? Does not correspond. So there was a child whose mother criticized him because he had many books. He immediately told his mother, Mom, do you have a hole in Old Master Q? Enthusiasm, kindness, respect, frugality and accommodation? Really? If you don't, you can't talk about me. ? It's no use studying because of bad conduct? The more books you read, the more arrogant you become, so the fundamental basis of reading is modesty and respect, and all knowledge sprouts in filial piety. These two roots are not well tied, and the more books you read, the endless harm will come. Therefore, the second priority of reading is very important. Teacher Lin Zexu asked about learning and gave us two very pertinent suggestions. First, we should learn from children's life behavior, respect the elderly and even everything, and then internalize it into his intentions. Therefore, the fourth and fifth points are the correct reading attitude.

The fifth point mentioned? It's no use being arrogant and knowledgeable? If you slow down, your career will be gone, so it is very important for us to observe whether children are humble and humble everywhere. There is a child in Haikou who studied classics for two or three years long ago. His mother is very cautious in these aspects. When the child sees every teacher bow 90 degrees respectfully, it can be seen that the child's bow has been internalized into his mind. What's wrong with being his mother? Find him. Come on, recite this paragraph for me? When the child finished reciting, the mother thanked him, and he also said modestly? To put it bluntly, there will be no arrogance.

On one occasion, several of our teachers and children went to Shenzhen together. We go to lectures, and so do the children. There happened to be a box of biscuits with ten pieces in it, and there was one piece left after everyone divided it, which was just nine people divided it. The child is in the room after dinner. He thought it was delicious, so he came out and said, this biscuit is delicious. Is there anything left? We just looked at the cookies and said nothing. When the child saw that there was one piece left, he immediately stepped forward, picked up the biscuit, and then came up to me and said that this piece should be eaten by Teacher Cai. Then he went in. The first one, the child is not greedy at all, and the second one, he also knows who to give the cookies to first, and he knows how to advance and retreat. So to be honest, learning China culture will never be boring. These manners make children very flexible and know how to change.

Just last year, there was an air defense exercise in Haikou, and the teacher didn't panic, because every situation was an opportunity for education. So the teacher immediately told the children: when conducting air defense exercises, you should bring some things that you must bring, and don't bring too much others. I saw every child start packing. Some children collect a lot, which is almost impossible to carry. Can you see what is happening in this child? Very insecure. That boy, who didn't pack anything, ran to a place and opened the drawer. There is a portrait of a hole in the drawer. He looked at the teacher and said, teacher, take this away! His teacher was moved to tears at that time. Fellow initiates, under the crisis, his first thought was to take away the image of Kong Old Master Q Q. I believe that in the future life of this child, faced with many challenges, Confucius' teachings will definitely pop out of his mind, and then he will act as a man from these attitudes. Therefore, as elders, we should carefully establish the correct learning attitude of our children.

What do you mean, being smart is useless by being smart? . When you don't take the right path and follow the teachings of sages, you will only play tricks, which will lead to some situations sooner or later. After all, the most important thing in doing things is virtue and happiness. Although we are clever, we may make a small profit for a while, but we will eventually lose our blessings and finally lose. So coveting this petty profit is like? Cutter licking honey? I see honey is sweet, but this honey is in front of the knife. Although we licked it, it was really sweet, but in that case, our tongues might be cut off and cut off. But fellow initiates, have our children become smarter now or have they become smarter? Smart. So don't encourage children to be smart. Many children are playing tricks, and adults are still laughing happily, aren't they? So education should be sensitive. When children are dishonest, we should still guide them carefully.

There are also some grandparents, holding their little grandchildren in their hands, who are not sensible and slap him. Grandma also smiled happily and said, look, my grandson hit me. Grandson, seeing her smile like this, has already hit her left face and even hit her right face. This is all because of the lack of educational sensitivity, which is quite worthy of our vigilance as elderly people. Because the child's ability to judge right and wrong has not yet been formed, it is necessary to shape some correct behaviors in order to let him follow the rules. When he is used to nature, he can naturally obey the rules. This kung fu was not done when I was a child, and it is difficult to reverse it when I grow up. Of course, if he has grown up, he should set an example at this time and then transform it with sincerity and virtue. What do you mean? It's never too late to mend, okay? .

The seventh? Luck doesn't make sense. It's no use asking for it? . At that time, the festival was not yet mature, so we did it. We may be tired of ourselves and others. So, at that time, festivals were not enough. We should calm down and improve our ability. When the time is ripe, we should give full play to it and make it a success. Therefore, people should also be flexible. The lower they can bend, the higher they can show when the next opportunity comes.

The eighth? Don't hesitate to take medicine, is it useless? . Physical health depends not only on food, but also on some doctors. More importantly, it is up to you. Don't spoil your health. Otherwise, no matter how much wealth you have, you can't have a healthy body.

The ninth? It's no use taking people's money for nothing? . In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a case in which he embezzled a sum of money in the late Qing Dynasty, causing many victims to starve to death. Later, after the Republic of China, he might be afraid and regret it, so he took money to do a lot of charity, and the locals thought he was a good man. But then he died miserably and went to hell because of him? Take someone else's money? What about this? Take someone else's money? Let too many people suffer, even if he comes to give alms later, it can't make up for his previous crimes. So we really keep this heart at all times and can't have the idea of taking advantage of others. Is suffering a blessing? Knowing how to give up and let go can make life wider and wider, and blessings and blessings are best enjoyed in the later stages of life. This is the real blessing.

?

Last one? Lust and lust, evil and useless? . Desire, our words and deeds are very wrong, and we have created many crimes. Even if our ancestors have more evil deeds, they will all be broken in a short time. Is this Mr. Lin Zexu's? Ten is useless? Our management of life is to grasp the root, the so-called? Gentleman's business is based on this, but born in Tao? . So what? Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence. Filial piety is the root of life, Lin Zexu's? Ten is useless? It also stems from filial piety.
